Tonight, for better or worse, the car show that defined car shows is coming to a close. Before we usher in a new era of automotive comedy, let’s take a moment to reminisce about the best car show... in the world. What are your favorite episodes from the show? When did Top Gear make you fall in love with cars? What’s… »6/28/15 12:01pm 6/28/15 12:01pm

Chris Evans, Top Gear’s newest host, was only offered the job late last week, he said in his first extended words on the new gig, while speaking on his radio show. But that’s not really the big story. The weirder bit is actually about former TG hosts Richard Hammond and May. They were apparently considering a return… »6/17/15 1:05pm 6/17/15 1:05pm

The other day on Twitter I mentioned that I had some stories from my 13 years as script editor on Top Gear, but that they weren’t very interesting. Since a couple of people asked, I’ve written this so you can see what I mean. »5/14/15 4:00pm 5/14/15 4:00pm

The Top Gear crew are back with Clarkson, Hammond & May Live, a new rolling circus that’s set to start touring this year. And they’ve already begun filming a few new segments to go along with their Back On The Road tour.»5/13/15 12:33pm 5/13/15 12:33pm

Top Gear has been off the air for a few months now. It’s sad. But there is a chance that Clarkson, Hammond, and May could have a show on Netflix. The title? House of Cars. Get it? »5/13/15 12:31pm 5/13/15 12:31pm

Top Gear, the greatest motoring show the world has ever seen, is dead. It was taken from us with one punch to the face, and we were all shocked. But according to James May, its time was numbered anyways, because the latest contract the hosts were going to sign was also supposed to be the last. »4/27/15 12:19pm 4/27/15 12:19pm

When Jeremy Clarkson was told he was finished at Top Gear, everyone just sort of assumed that was that. The show was over, at least in its then-current incarnation, and we’d all have to find something new to watch on Sundays (Nurse Jackie, obvi). But co-host James May just said it might not be over for the trio. »4/23/15 2:29pm 4/23/15 2:29pm

As a comedian living in New York, I know plenty of people who, during their time between jobs, have turned to making a web series to fill their time and potentially turn their careers around. Now, former Top Gear host James May seems to have joined their ranks with his Unemployment Tube series. In this first… »4/04/15 9:39am 4/04/15 9:39am

James May and Richard Hammond aren't destitute. Bored? Sure. But poor? Hardly. So don't read anything into the fact that both former Top Gear presenters are sending some of their motorcycles up for auction this month. »4/03/15 8:40pm 4/03/15 8:40pm

Not unlike many of you here, I grew up watching Top Gear. And I absolutely loved it. It was, for a period of time, my favourite thing on telly and Jeremy Clarkson was, for a period of time, my favourite person...in the world. »3/31/15 1:56pm 3/31/15 1:56pm

We’re worried about him. Next he’s threatening to bake a bicycle. Or fix a pie. Or general toy train maintenance. One of those. But really, just between us James, I know this is a trying time for everyone, but are you okay? »3/30/15 5:19pm 3/30/15 5:19pm

After it was announced that the BBC would not be renewing Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson’s contract, co-host James May announced that his next step would require “a lot of careful thought.” That’s so far pretty much all he’s said. But a lot of people have been suckered in by this imposter Twitter account. »3/25/15 5:47pm 3/25/15 5:47pm

The third biggest loser in this sad saga of Top Gear is the wider car media, and the business that surrounds it. Of course the first is the vast fan base that has followed the show for many years. The second, assuming the brand struggles to survive, is the team who work on it - and I can’t imagine how they feel right… »3/25/15 4:47pm 3/25/15 4:47pm

With the firing of Jeremy Clarkson, the main host and driving creative force behind Top Gear, it’s a bit unclear as to the future of both the show and co-hosts James May and Richard Hammond. Both co-hosts are, however, now being forced to weigh in. »3/25/15 11:20am 3/25/15 11:20am
